If you're looking for a heavy-duty juicer to whip up your morning glass of tangerine-grapefruit juice, look no further. This is a solidly built juicer that you'll want to leave on the counter all the time--and it's heavy enough that you'll want to give it a permanent, accessible spot. Slower than some juicers, it's consistent and powerful, squeezing every last drop of juice from even a large grapefruit. The majority of the pulp collects in the reamer basket--add as much as you like! The spout pours directly into most tumblers up to 12 ounces, and by adjusting the reamer, you can make the operating switch convenient for left- or right-handed users.--Jill Lightner

 This is an inferior citrus juicer October 6, 2008
Gary Soldow (Asheville, NC)
This is the second Waring Citrus Juicer given that the first one's motor strained with just the slightest pressure.
Surprisingly, the current one, presumably with a properly working motor, also strained with pressure although it allowed for more pressure than the first, faulty unit.
It appears that the motor is not very powerful. As well, the juicer attachment, over time, since it doesn't have a very tight fit over the motor shaft, will simply stop turning when pressure is applied.
I returned the unit and opted for the more expensive Breville Citrus Juicer.
That unit is magnitudes better than the Waring unit.
My recommendation is to not even consider buying the Waring unit. It has an underperforming motor and is poorly constructed.

We have 7 orange trees and a lemon tree. We are serious juicers from California, juicing every day. This juicer really works. Several juicers have bit the dust in our house. The problem was they just didn't have the power. I knew this one was different when I took it out of the box and saw the heavy duty cord with 3 prongs. The motor is much superior to anything we have had in 30 (really) years.
not so professional June 12, 2008

this juicer is not what we expected, based on the reviews we had read. it simply does not perform well at its most basic task, getting juice out of an orange or lemon. frustratingly, the motor appears to disengage when you "press firmly", which is the recommended operating method.
Worst Product - Worst Service June 11, 2008

I bought this product because it had great reviews from several buyers. I was extremely excited when I received it but was quickly disappointed. The product had no power whatsoever. It kept on stopping each time I put any kind of pressure on the orange. Apart from looking great on the kitchen counter and very easy to clean (I have to give it that), its OJ making abilities gets 0 starts.
Buyers beware that this item is not returnable and thus not refundable by Amazon or Ace Photo Digital. If you buy it you are stuck with it. I would think twice before buying this product or any product from Amazon or Ace Photo Digital as their return policy is very restricted. READ THE FINE PRINT. I should have known when the package came without the return slip and return instructions in it.
I shop online all the time and this was my first Amazon experience. I have to say it was not a good one.

i love it.
for me this unit works great.
i've had it for a few months now, and used it about 8 times thus far.
so far so good. :)
strong, dependable, and not too noisy.
i read a review in which they described the plastic as flimsy or otherwise less than desirable, and that caused some hesitation in my purchase but i decided to take a chance anyway and i'm glad i did.
the plastic parts are not flimsy or in any way inferior to any other plastic items of similar usage.
another review mentioned the spout being in an inconvenient location in regards to the on off switch but since you can place the spout in any direction you like, i also view this as a non-issue.
great purchase no complaints. :)
